Velocity Frequent Flyer has continued to expand its international partner airline offering since November 2021, when Virgin Atlantic, Air Canada, Delta Air Lines, Etihad Airways, Hawaiian Airlines and South African Airways, re-opened Reward Seats to Velocity members.
Today’s news follows the announcement that Virgin Australia and Velocity Frequent Flyer will partner with United Airlines from April 2022, tripling the number of direct U.S. cities travellers can reach from Australian ports, while offering Velocity members more ways to earn Points, Status Credits and receive tier benefits when travelling on United’s expansive services.
